Couple of weeks ago I was invited to play at event in Vilnius called Minimal Mondays. It is a weekly event organised by Minimal.lt, a team who are also responsible for Supynes festival. By the way, this year's Supynes was rated 5/5 at Resident Advisor. Anyway, they also have a radio show at ZIP FM here in lithuania, also called Minimal Mondays. And they asked me to do an interview with them (in lithuanian only) and they also played a recording of my live set from the event. So there is a recording of that radio show which includes both interview and the live set. If you don't speak lithuanian you can fast forward the first hour which is mostly just us talking and listen to my live set in the second hour of the show.

I have to be honest, it's hard keeping a blog alive when you're running a label, an online store, multiple musical monikers, playing gigs etc. So it has been quite dead recently. But anyway, I have some stuff to show today. Last weekend I played at Supynes festival here in Lithuania. The lineup of live performances and DJ's included Sven Weisemann, Pulshar and many others. I play at this festival nearly every year. This year it was reviewed by Resident Advisor and got a great rating of 5/5. Check it out: http://www.residentadvisor.net/review-view.aspx?id=15242
So here are those videos of me playing:
My new album "Namo" is now fully released on my site, my bandcamp, and on Cold Tear Records. This album features 14 original tracks and a remix by Quantec. So you can go to this page: http://coldtear.com/giriu-dvasios-namo/ and enjoy this album, and share it with your friends!
My new album "Namo" will be released tomorrow on Cold Tear Records. But it is available to download for all my supporters here on giriudvasios.com right now! If you don't have an account, don't heistate to get one, it's super cheap!
Nothing else to say. Hope you'll enjoy it. And big thanks to everyone who kept supporting me even when i couldn't give you any new material to listen to!
Recently there was a new label called "Deafaid" started. Their first release is a 12" vinyl compilation with tracks by me, Slownoise, Ohmikron and DryKru. It is now available to order from decks.de or pre-order on label's bandcamp page, which is http://deafaidrec.bandcamp.com/. On bandcamp there are 4 bonus tracks, so i'd recommend to get it from there.
This is the first time my music was pressed on vinyl, so it's exciting for me. :)
My new album "Namo" will come out on April 28 on Cold Tear Records, and my own site as well. It will contain 14 original tracks and a remix by Quantec. Check out the preview below:
A collective called Radiant Child's which not so long ago took an interview from me, and ivited to play some music on an online event are now putting out a CD compilation called "Sequence". My track is also on it. It is now available for pre-order and streaming via bandcamp. Very high quality stuff on it by artists like Zzzzra, Textural Being, Brickman, Grad_U, Spaceci, Havantepe etc. Check it out: https://radiantchilds.bandcamp.com/
So since my last post about lithuanian ethnic culture, i kept listening to "sutartines" (ancient, polyphonic lithuanian chants/songs) and checking out other things in that field. What i realised is that every culture has their own way of meditation with sound. For example christians have rosary prayer, hindu and buddhist have mantras, muslim sing texts from Koran and there are also somekind of chant where they sing many different names of God. Shamans hit their drum and also chant something. All these different cultures have their own way to raise their conciousness to high levels by using sound. In lithuanian ancient religion there is sutartines. Inspired by all of this i started taking these songs and remaking them into Giriu Dvasios dub tracks. I am now thinking that i might make a whole album with lithuanian ancient sutartines, hoping that it will cause some people to study this ancient form of art and spirituality.
I'm going to share some very nice videos that i discovered while researching ethnic culture.
In the first one, i love the whole setup. The dance that goes together with a chant, the drums are great here, they give this power to this chant, and the mellody is also very powerful. I also love the way these people are dressed. I'm blown away by this video, i can hardly explain why :) It brings a lot of emotions for me. Maybe i have memories from my past lives, or something... I know the quality of video is not great, but still, what a fantastic event.
A net label called "Drift Deeper Recordings" run by a Dub Techno Blog released a big dub techno compilation. It is available for free download. My track is on it, amongst artists like Alexander Saykov, OhmikRon, Ohrwert, Textural Being, F.l.o. and many more.

This blog from Poland asked me if i'd do an interview and a podcast for them. I agreed. The interview was written in polish, but i decided to make an english version for you. And while you are reading it enjoy the podcast.
Tobiesobiemiastu: Hi. I remember it was around 2010 when I heard Metai for first time. It was amazing.
Giriu Dvasios: Thanks, it features some of the earliest Giriu Dvasios works so really glad to hear that.
Tobiesobiemiastu: When did you start producing music?
Giriu Dvasios: I have started when i was around 13-14 years, that's around year 2000. But i started Giriu Dvasios in 2009.
Tobiesobiemiastu: And why did you choose dub?
Giriu Dvasios: I have a friend who used to show me dub techno tracks, i kind of liked them but i wasn't into it that much. I decided to try to make a dub techno track my self, because i always liked challenges in music. So after i made it i liked it too much and i couldn't put it under my current moniker at that time (SoulSonic). It sounded too different. So i decided that i need a new artist name for this track, and for my future dub techno tracks, because i knew i'm going to make more. That's how it started. I chose it because i liked producing it i guess. It's quite a defined style, so it's an opportunity to be creative and go beyond the definition.
Tobiesobiemiastu: Recently I spoke with a Polish producer Blazej Malinowski, who is making dub techno. He is one of very few in Poland in this genre. What is the situation in Lithuania?
Giriu Dvasios: Dub Techno scene here is very small. There are only few DJ's playing dub techno, and only few producers making it. But Giriu Dvasios is somewhat popular here, and that's unexpected to me. All in all the scene is good in Lithuania, we have a lot of DJ's and producers, a lot of electronic music festivals, parties, events. There is enough action in electronic music in our country.
Tobiesobiemiastu: And what about your influences?
Giriu Dvasios: when i started making dub techno the biggest influences were "Idei Lahesna" album by Octex, Deepchord and most importantly Rhythm & Sound. I guess Rhythm & Sound is still an influence and inspiration. Right now i'm heavily influenced by lithuanian ethnic songs, chants and music in general. I spend a lot of time studying ancient baltic culture. I feel like i am supposed to know more about my ancestors. I think it's important to point out that Giriu Dvasios in lithuanian mean Spirits of the Woods, which i think sounds quite archaic.
Tobiesobiemiastu: My girlfriend called dub techno music, music from the forest.
Giriu Dvasios: It's interesting that a lot of people imagine woods when they hear dub techno.
Tobiesobiemiastu: Are the titles of your tracks and albums lithuanian?
Giriu Dvasios: Yes.
Tobiesobiemiastu: What are your plans for the future?
Giriu Dvasios: I have many ideas and plans, but we'll see how 2014 unfolds. Right now i might release an EP on vinyl together with another producer. I won't reveal any more details yet. I am also trying to work out a CD release. I also have an idea of an album with ethnic lithuanian songs. But again, who knows what may happen.
Tobiesobiemiastu: Five favorite albums of all time.
Giriu Dvasios:
- Brock Van Wey - White Clouds Drift On and On
- ASC - Time Heals All
- Atheus - Compile
- The Tuss - Rushup Edge
- Yagya - Will I Dream During The Process
Tobiesobiemiastu: Thank you for the interview!
Giriu Dvasios: Thank you.

American Apparel, long notorious for its 'questionable' ad campaigns, has now foregone models entirely in its quest to become the most pornographic advertisers of all time. (Yes, even compared to actual pornographers).
Their just-revealed ads show naked, young girls removing their underwear -- but drawn in pencil, by "artist" Boris Lopez.
Apparently that is supposed to make it more acceptable.
American Apparel's advertising has been condemned before for pushing the limits of sexual exploitation of women and essentially using pornography to sell its clothes. Meanwhile, the company likes to herald its "vertically-integrated," protect-the-workers, no cheap exploitation agenda as though this is somehow a justification for its advertising.
So, how did it come to this for American Apparel?
We'll tell you. Here, we have documented American Apparel's descent from legit mate advertising -- to soft core pornography.

I have heard from some high-end kitchen designers that they use Elica hoods. Yes, they look really nice, I should say. However, some of them have a wide (42"-48") canopy with only one mesh filter and 600 cfm internal motor. The recommended height above the cooktop is 32" for 9+" ceilings. Let's say, I am not considering an external motor as I don't do any greasy cooking and have only a 30" cooktop, plus it is simply not in my current budget. I wonder if that motor coupled with a single mesh filter is going to do the job. Any thoughts or experience with Elica hoods? TIA! |

My partner refused to eat this. The anchovy paste and mayonnaise ruined it for me. Without them - probably a tasty, easy, low calorie gazpacho.
I omitted the Anchovy Paste and I blended all the ingredients instead of holding some out to add at the end. I also made a Pesto Pizza with it. Delish!
Omitted the Anchovy Paste and used tomatoes and cucumbers from our Garden. I also blended all the cucumbers and onions instead of holding them out until the end. I Pureed it in the blender but let it stay a little chunky. Extremely easy and very fresh tasting. We made a Pesto Pizza to go along with it.
I thought this was wonderful and easy gazpacho. I just eliminated the basil and toned down the anchovy paste. Much easier than others I've made with delicous results.
This was tasty and easy soup and especially pleased my mother-in-law who has an aversion to peppers (which most of my gazpacho recipes include). We omitted the anchovy paste and were very happy with the results. We liked it so much, we made it twice during her visit.
This sounds like the worst gaspacho recipe I've ever heard of. Basil? Mayo? ICK! For a more authentic version try the Fresh Tomato Gazpacho on Epicurious. Gazpacho is simple-Tomatoes (seeded, don't worry about skin though), Cucumbers, Red Onion, Olive Oil, Red Wine/Sherry Vinegar and crusty or stale or toasted bread or croutons. Either Chop and mix (croutons on top), or blend all the ingredients (croutons included) together. Add red/green peppers if you want. Done, easy, delish.

Winner — National Book Award
The Man with the Golden Arm is Nelson Algren's most powerful and enduring work. On the 50th anniversary of its publication in November 1949, for which Algren was honored with the first National Book Award (which he received from none other than Eleanor Roosevelt at a ceremony in March 1950), Seven Stories is proud to release the first critical edition of an Algren work.
A novel of rare genius, The Man with the Golden Arm describes the dissolution of a card-dealing WWII veteran named Frankie Machine, caught in the act of slowly cutting his own heart into wafer-thin slices. For Frankie, a murder committed may be the least of his problems.
The literary critic Malcolm Cowley called The Man with the Golden Arm "Algren's defense of the individual," while Carl Sandburg wrote of its "strange midnight dignity." A literary tour de force, here is a novel unlike any other, one in which drug addiction, poverty, and human failure somehow suggest a defense of human dignity and a reason for hope.
Special contributions by Russell Banks, Bettina Drew, James R. Giles, Carlo Rotella, William Savage, Lee Stringer, Studs Terkel, Kurt Vonnegut, and others.
"It's a classic, essential reading for those interested in the other America." — Ian Peddie, West Texas A&M Universtiy

The daily loaf is an important part of life and maybe your diet.Bread however has now become quite an expensive foodstuff on our shopping list.We do not want to waste any bread and for that reason we often prefer to freeze the loaf in order to keep it fresh, but is it really a good idea to freeze our bread.
Many dieticians now consider freezing bread maybe bad for you if you suffer from bloating or wind problems.
This is explained in the cooking process of our loaf. When the bread is baked the wheat starch is softened and breaks down it's structure and making it edible, but this changes when the loaf cools down and the wheat hardens.This is comparable to the starch in mashed potatoes which are soft when cooked, but is hard when cooled. When the bread has cooled down, the wheat reacts with other starches to form the resistant starches and tis is what causes the problems to our digestive systems.
Unfortunatlely even if you toast your bread or re-heat it in another cooking process these starches still remain, and can be fermented by bowel bacteria and cause further bloating and gases to form.
Storing your bread into your freezer at home is a bad idea, but you should also be aware that many breads from certain bakeries are made from chilled or frozen doughs to save time and ensure more varieties of fresh bread.
However these chilled and frozen doughs are cooked again just before they go on sale so similar problems can occur to irritate your stomach, even if you do not freeze any of these types of bread.
If you buy your bread from many of the big mass produced bread companies that are sold through supermarkets, this problem may be alleviated as the bread from the production lines are readily cooked,sliced and distributed at normal temperatures.
Apart from certain allergies especially wheat , which could also cause you problems, one of the reasons why bread is giving trouble to your gut are the chilled dough products from the bakery counters.
The solutions are to bake your own with ideal conditions for baking, and avoid freezing your loaves of bread.

'Exodus: Gods and Kings' Review: 'Thor' Does It Better
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on December 12, 2014 | Be the First To CommentTwo powerful men — brothers from other mothers and great friends since childhood — find their relationship tested when the father of one (but guardian to both) makes it known which of the two he prefers. Division, betrayal and mass casualties soon follow as the two former best of friends become the worst of enemies. Marvel's Thor films tackle this setup with a sense of fun, Shakespearean drama and a believably strained bond between Thor and Loki. Ridley Scott's equally mythical take on a similar subject is adapted from a slightly older source material than the comics, but the result is something far more ridiculous and far less engaging. Exodus: Gods and Kings aims for an epic feel built on the back of a personal, emotionally-fueled feud, but neither the big nor the small conflicts ever achieve the intended effect and instead leave viewers with a bloated, scattershot and unnecessary take on a familiar tale.
'Exodus: Gods and Kings' Trailer Features Christian Bale, CGI Plagues and an Oompa Loompa-like Aussie
Movie News By Rob Hunter on July 8, 2014 | Be the First To CommentRidley Scott is no stranger to period epics, but Gladiator aside, he hasn't had the best of luck with them at the box office. 1492: Conquest of Paradise disappeared from theaters faster than the Native Americans did from Columbus' conscience, and Robin Hood resulted in people wishing they were watching the Kevin Costner version. (Okay, maybe that was just me.) His 2005 religious-themed epic meanwhile, Kingdom of Heaven, failed to appeal to audiences and only banked less than $50 million domestic (on a $130m budget). But Scott's nothing if not persistent — hence his penchant for director's cuts — and he's ready to try his hand at another biblical epic combining faith in a god with slow-motion death from horseback. And he found two perfect Middle Eastern actors to head up his cast. Exodus: Gods and Kings is the story of the tiff between Moses (Christian Bale) and Ramses (Joel Edgerton) that resulted in the former orchestrating a mass exit of god-fearing slaves out of Egypt and the latter being inundated with messy plagues. Check out the first trailer for Exodus: Gods and Kings below.
New 'Exodus: Gods and Kings' Images are Way More Entertaining Than Sunday School
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on July 5, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThere are few things that are certain in this world: death, taxes, the fact that there's always an episode of Law and Order: SVU playing on at least one channel at any given time of day or night, and that the biblical epic will always find its way back into the mainstream of cinema. It may have been since the 1950s when the big budget, large scale production was en vogue, but with films like this year's Noah getting audiences nostalgic for animals marching two-by-two and the big guy upstairs, now Ridley Scott's Exodus: Gods and Kings has its path paved to go full blown Charlton Heston with no regrets. The first images from the film, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, show that happening right away.
The Continuing Saga of 'Jane Got a Gun' Set to Ride Into Court
Features By Kate Erbland on November 7, 2013 | Comments (1)It's the ill-fated production that just won't die, no matter how many bullets you put in its head. The Brian Duffield-penned Blacklist screenplay Jane Got a Gun got off to a solid start (perhaps even with a bang?) when lauded director Lynne Ramsay signed on to helm the tale of a Western woman who must turn to her ex-lover to help protect her homestead and husband from a band of baddie thugs (well, horseback thugs) out to kill them. The addition of stars Natalie Portman (who also signed on to produce the project), Michael Fassbender, and Joel Edgerton only made the project sound still more enticing before, well, everything just went to hell in a big, Hollywood-shaped handbasket. And now it's going to court! But first, let's begin with a recap of the situation – an extensive enough series of events that we truly hopes spawn some sort of behind the scenes book or oral history or something at some point in time.
Joel Edgerton Negotiating to Get Biblical on Christian Bale in 'Exodus'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on August 13, 2013 | Comments (1)The first time we heard that Ridley Scott was thinking about putting together a Moses tale, word was that the project he was eyeballing was called Exodus, Fox was pressuring him to put it on the fast track, and he and the studio were trying their damnedest to get Christian Bale to attach himself as the film's lead. Well, some exciting developments have gone down since then. Not only has Bale definitely agreed to come on board and grow a hipster beard to play Moses, but the film is also definitely set to go in front of cameras soon—likely as soon as September even. And now, in yet another bit of promising news, THR is reporting that rising star Joel Edgerton is negotiating to star opposite Bale.
Kirsten Dunst Adds Jeff Nichols to Her Impressive Collection of Collaborators
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on August 12, 2013 | Comments (1)So far Jeff Nichols has only directed three films, but when those three films are as good as Shotgun Stories, Take Shelter, and Mud, it really only takes three films for pundits to start painting you as being one of the most exciting directors currently making movies. And once somebody gets anointed as being one of the most exciting directors currently making movies, every time they announce a new project it tends to be a momentous occasion of celebration. That's why we were so excited to hear that Nichols would be keeping his streak of working with powerhouse actor Michael Shannon alive for his next film, a father/son drama with a chase element called Midnight Special. Factor in that Nichols has since added another one of the top acting names working in the business, Joel Edgerton, to the cast, and things have started to look even more promising. With these three guys collaborating, Midnight Special has to be seen as one of the most notable movies currently being made, which is good news for Kirsten Dunst, because Deadline is reporting that she's the latest name signed to come on board and help out the cause.
Casting Couch: Joel Edgerton is Joining a Jeff Nichols Actioner, Mark Wahlberg is an 'American Desperado,' and More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on June 28, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Casting Couch? It's a roundup of casting news, and today it's a total sausage fest. When the guests at the news party are as charming as Michael Peña and Christopher Plummer though, it's hard to complain. Unless you're one of the few people who sat through The Odd Life of Timothy Green and haven't repressed the memory, it's not likely you've ever seen a Joel Edgerton performance and come away disappointed. And unless you're just an absolute monster, it's not likely you've ever seen a Jeff Nichols (Take Shelter, Mud) movie and come away disappointed either. Put the two of them together and what do you get? Apparently a "present-day sci-fi chase film" that's also going to star Michael Shannon. Or, at least, that's what a Variety report claiming that Edgerton is currently negotiating to join Nichols' next project says. I probably don't have to tell you that this all sounds very intriguing.
Review: 'Wish You Were Here' Is a Postcard Scrawled In Guilt and Blood
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on June 7, 2013 | Comments (3)A man and a pregnant woman lay on the beach, soaking in the sun and talking. Alice (Felicity Price) asks Jeremy (Antony Starr) if he could go anywhere where would he go, and he answers simply that he would stay there. The "there" in question is a small town on the southwestern shores of Cambodia, and after a brief montage of two couples enjoying a week free of responsibility we see them celebrating their last night there with some illicit pills. The next morning is a blur as Alice's husband, Dave (Joel Edgerton), wanders a dawn-lit field, disheveled and bloodied. Jeremy meanwhile, instigator of the trip and brand new boyfriend to Alice's sister, Steph (Teresa Palmer), has gone missing. Wish You Were Here is a dramatic thriller that explores guilt, doubt and responsibility through its various relationships. Husband to wife, sister to sister, and stranger to stranger are pairings that get tested by way of a mystery involving one man's disappearance and the truth hiding just below the surface. There's an interesting story here, but much of its power is neutered by a structure heavily reliant on flashback reveals. Happily, thanks in large part to the performances, there's still enough juice left to make for an engaging-enough watch.
Report: Ten Million Dollar Paycheck Not Enough to Keep Johnny Depp on 'Black Mass'
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on May 30, 2013 | Comments (2)While we're not usually inclined to speculate on the financial desires of Hollywood's brightest stars, it seems as if today's report that Johnny Depp has dropped out of Barry Levinson's Whitey Bulger biopic, Black Mass, due to financial disagreements leaves us little choice. Deadline had reported that this was a possibility last night, writing then that "the troubles are in making his [Depp's] deal and things aren't looking great at the moment." THR now weighs in with the firm news that Depp has exited the biopic, citing budget issues – namely, that the film's trimmed budget wasn't going to accommodate Depp's "usual" $20M fee and that Depp wasn't going to accommodate a price drop that would have put his paycheck closer to $10M. With Depp attached to the film since February, it raises the question – why now? THR also reports that the film's sale at Cannes was "on the soft side," leading to a necessary budget trim that would put the total cost of the film in the $60M range. A "producer source" does, however, dispute the soft angle, "saying the sales were on target and that most territories were sold." No matter what happened, the film is now out one major (and majorly bankable) star in Depp.
Casting Couch: Scarlett Johansson Will Help Around the Kitchen For 'Chef,' Chris Pine and Jake Gyllenhaal Are Thinking About Singing Together, and More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on May 15, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Casting Couch? It's the same casting news roundup that it's always been, but today Cannes started up, so it's got a little extra juice. Christoph Waltz, Bradley Cooper, Michelle Williams, Joel Edgerton: they're all in here. Seeing as Jon Favreau made more money than science knew existed with his two installments of the Iron Man franchise, he's basically the kind of director who now has the power to do anything he wants in the film industry. So it was kind of refreshing to hear that what he wanted to do was make a simple indie movie called Chef about a chef who falls on hard times and tries to make his comeback by opening a food truck. But now Variety has reported that he's gone and hired Scarlett Johansson to play his love interest in the movie, and suddenly his motivations don't appear to be all that down to Earth. Johansson is an underrated actress and will probably be fine in the film, but—come on! Try to not let all of that power go to your head, Mr. Favreau. We're watching.
Watch Baby-Faced Joel Edgerton in 5 Early Short Films
Features By Christopher Campbell on May 5, 2013 | Be the First To CommentShort Starts presents a weekly short film(s) from the start of a filmmaker or actor's career. With the role of Tom Buchanan in Baz Luhrman's The Great Gatsby, actor Joel Edgerton continues his rise in stardom. He even has a couple of character posters to show for his fame. Long before he was embodying a character from classic American literature, though, and long before he was hunting Osama Bin Laden in Zero Dark Thirty and fighting his brother in The Warrior and even playing Darth Vader's stepbrother in the Star Wars prequels, he was a regular figure in the short subjects scene. We can thank part of this on his nationality, as Australia is a great country for short films (it's home of Tropfest, after all). On top of that, he came up through the film collective known as Blue-Tongue Films, alongside his writer/director/stuntman brother Nash (who is Joel's double in Gatsby) and filmmakers David Michôd (Animal Kingdom) and Spencer Susser (Hesher). Joel made his film debut in Blue-Tongue's first work, a nine-minute film from 1996 titled Loaded, which is directed by Nash with writer Kieran Darcy-Smith. I thought about simply posting that early baby-faced short start from the actor, but seeing as he's in so many shorts, most of which are online, I've sampled five of his first appearances after the jump, two of which aren't Blue-Tongue productions, all of which feature Joel pre-beard and pre-bulk.
'Wish You Were Here' Trailer: Yet Another Vacation Goes Horrifyingly Awry
Movie News By Kate Erbland on March 27, 2013 | Be the First To CommentOkay, movies, we get it now. We shouldn't go on vacation anymore, it only seems to lead to sex, drugs, criminal trouble, and death. What's that, you say? That was only Spring Breakers? There are plenty of wholesome vacation-based films to enjoy out there? Fine, why don't you go ahead and just book my ticket straight to Kieran Darcy-Smith's Wish You Were Here then? Ah, gotcha! Looks like there is nothing but sex, drugs, criminal trouble, and death in that one, too! Of course, the new film from Blue-Tongue Films members Darcy-Smith (who co-wrote the film with star Felicity Price) is very, very different than Harmony Korine's latest opus, but it still will keep us away from beach vacations for quite awhile. The film features rising star Joel Edgerton as Price's husband, Teresa Palmer as her sister, and Antony Starr as Palmer's new boyfriend, with the four heading off on a Southeast Asian trip that ends in tragedy. Turns out, four might leave on that trip, but only three return, with Price, Edgerton, and Palmer forced home after Starr goes missing in a very peculiar fashion. Just what is going on here? While we can't tell just yet (this one is definitely twisty), it certainly looks like Edgerton might need to retain a lawyer ASAP. Stay in the safety of your own home, in your own town, far away from tropical beaches and debauchery, and check out the first trailer for Wish You Were Here after the break.
'Jane' Shootout Continues: Jude Law Exits 'Jane Got A Gun'
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on March 20, 2013 | Be the First To CommentThe Jane Got a Gun news just does not stop around here. Just a day after original director Lynne Ramsay exited the project in spectacular fashion and mere hours after Warrior helmer Gavin O'Connor stepped in to direct, newly-minted lead Jude Law has now left the film. Deadline Hollywood reveals that Law has "formally withdrawn from the film. It is because he signed on to work with Ramsay, best known for the edgy drama We Need To Talk About Kevin." Law only recently came on board the project after Michael Fassbender dropped out and Ramsay reportedly reshuffled other leading man Joel Edgerton into a different role to fill the gap. Edgerton will likely stick around, as he has a positive working relationship with O'Connor after their Warrior. Ramsay has still not commented on the situation.
Review: 'Zero Dark Thirty' Solidifies Kathryn Bigelow's Status As Great Director
Movie Reviews By Caitlin Hughes on December 21, 2012 | Comments (3)A fair amount of critics are touting Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty as her masterpiece. While Bigelow has definitely directed films in her decades of filmmaking that are comparable to the overall quality of Zero Dark Thirty, it is great that between this and her Oscar-winning The Hurt Locker, she is getting the acclaim that she deserves. What does set Zero Dark Thirty apart from the rest of the Kathryn Bigelow oeuvre is that is a far more deliberate and slower paced film that her others. At about two-and-a-half hours, it includes only perhaps two or three major "action/suspense" scenes, which are all impeccably executed in her usual fashion. Mostly, however, the film follows the mental unraveling and rise to power of CIA agent Maya (Jessica Chastain) as she follows a seemingly-circumstantial hunch, which results in her looking over Osama bin Laden's body bag. The film certainly is successful in what it sets out to do. Through Chastain's Maya, it is a more nuanced study of the disappointments of losing the war on terror against Al Qaeda and then fighting back, resulting in less of a fist pump of exultation, but more of a quiet recognition of accomplishment.
'The Great Gatsby' Trailer Is the Grandest Episode of 'TMZ' Ever
Movie News By Nathan Adams on December 20, 2012 | Comments (1)If there's one thing our culture never gets tired of, it's tabloid news. Taking a promising young pretty person, anointing them with almost mythic stature, and then feasting on their misery like psychic vampires when they eventually succumb to scandal and fall from grace…that's the name of the game! Seeing as the new trailer for Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby sticks pretty closely to this formula, and presents things with the flashy, kinetic visual style that the director has become famous for, chances are it's going to do a good job of selling this story to a wider audience than was willing to read Fitzgerald's novel in their high school English class. When it was first announced that Luhrmann was going to be tackling material as generally dry as Gatsby, and filming it in 3D no less, the entire notion seemed kind of absurd. But after watching this trailer, it starts to make a bit of sense. Leonardo DiCaprio's character is getting what he wants by entering and mastering a world of artifice. The main drama in the story is generally concerned with who's sleeping with who. Plus, this is a period piece that affords its director the opportunity to stage several lavish parties. All of that isn't too far off from what Luhrmann has already done with Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge!
Get Classy and Literary With This Gallery of 'The Great Gatsby' Character Posters
Movie News By Kate Erbland on December 19, 2012 | Be the First To CommentHow awkward that the first piece of marketing for Baz Luhrmann's still-ludicrously-3D take on F. Scott Fitzgerald's most famous work to strike any sort of literary chord is this brand new batch of character posters for The Great Gatsby.Featuring the film's six principle stars (that's Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby, Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan, Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway, Joel Edgerton as Tom Buchanan, Isla Fisher as Myrtle Wilson, and Elizabeth Debicki as Jordan Baker), each crisply-designed poster features a quote from the novel about their respective characters. What an idea! Using text to illuminate a new adaptation of a text. Drop the 3D, Baz, this stuff is what looks good. After the break, brush up on your high school lit, and meet Daisy, Nick, Jordan, Tom, and Myrtle.
Casting Couch: Michael Shannon Picked For 'The Harvest,' Joel Edgerton Goes West For 'Jane Got a Gun,' and More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on December 12, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Casting Couch? It's the roundup of casting news that knows what Gillian Jacobs is going to be doing with her upcoming break from Community. All that time in the bushes finally paid off. Most people probably thought Wild Things director John McNaughton's career hit its zenith when he directed Wild Things. That movie was basically the most '90s thing ever, and it practically introduced the concept of the three-way to the square community through the communicative power of Denise Richards' boobs. He may yet top that work though, because Deadline reports that he's just recruited the best actor in the world, Michael Shannon, to star in his upcoming thriller The Harvest. The film will star Samantha Morton as a successful heart surgeon and Shannon as her co-dependent husband. Its conflict comes in when their sick son meets a new friend, and suddenly the very controlled routine that Morton's character has created starts to break down. Sounds like a creepy mom.
'Zero Dark Thirty' Trailer: That's It, Jessica Chastain Is a Movie Star Now
Movie News By Kate Erbland on October 11, 2012 | Comments (9)Sure, this latest trailer for Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty is a lot of things: cool, collected, awesome, awesome, exciting, cool all over again, bold, vibrant, but it's also dominated by one overwhelming force that encompasses all those adjectives. Jessica Chastain. Did we somehow miss that this film, Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal's true life take on the capture and killing of Osama bin Laden, was really The Chastain Show? Looks like it, and we've already got our ticket in hand. Check out the latest Zero Dark Thirty trailer after the break.
Joel Edgerton's Drunk Driving Thriller 'Felony' Lands a Proven Vet
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on September 12, 2012 | Comments (1)Not only is Joel Edgerton a burgeoning star who looks like he's on the brink of big things in the acting world, he's also a creative type who's been writing scripts and directing shorts for a while. So it should come as no surprise that the upcoming thriller, Felony, has his name on its credits as both the writer and the star. As we learned back in May, Felony is being directed by Matthew Saville (Noise) and will star Edgerton as a generally good officer of the law who makes a big mistake followed by a big moral compromise when his driving home drunk leads to an accident and then his lying about it. As it does in most thrillers, one decision bereft of morality inevitably leads to a downward spiral of very bad things. Seeing as the film is set to go in front of cameras in late October, the time to fill out the rest of the cast is nigh, and Saville has got himself off to a great start by bringing the experienced and exceptional Tom Wilkinson into the fold. Wilkinson, of course, is a veteran name who's been working regularly since the early '80s, but most recently you've seen him in joints like The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, The Conspirator, and The Ghost Writer. Here he'll be playing the role of Detective Carl Summer, the police investigator who arrives on the scene following the Edgerton character's accident.
Baz Luhrmann's 'The Great Gatsby' Needs A Loan
Movie News By Jack Giroux on August 20, 2012 | Comments (1)The trailer for Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby was all kinds of flashy and promising, so when the news of the film's Christmas release getting scrapped broke, it seemed as if the Oscar contender wasn't exactly the awards picture everyone was making it out to be. Warner Bros. stated the release shift was only a matter of reaching the biggest audience possible, but if they really felt that confident in their 3D Luhrmann Fest, it's doubtful the film would've had a difficult time reaching a broad audience come Christmas. Now, we've received news which raises questions over whether Warners was one hundred percent truthful with their reasoning. Luhrmann is currently seeking outside funds to "complete" the film, with Warner Bros. unwilling to sink any more cash into the $127m project. Luhrmann is attempting to privately raise funds for both additional reshoots and to polish the film's substantial amount of effects.

Many vacationers flock to Cape Cod each year, but not all are interested solely in the beach. Fortunately, there is a wide variety of attractions for those who wish to enjoy non-beach activities. The following are some of the best things to do and see in the Cape area:
Buttonbush Trail for Outdoor Lovers
Anyone who enjoys the great outdoors will not want to overlook a visit to Buttonbush Trail in Eastham. Although the latter is known for many different walking and hiking trails, Buttonbush is one of the most unique paths in the area. It is even set up for blind visitors, who can use guide ropes and Braille signs to navigate the trail and stimulate their other senses. The trail is also conveniently located adjacent to the Salt Pond Amphitheater, which offers multiple entertainment venues throughout the year.
Wellfleet Art Galleries
Those who love art will be pleased to know that Wellfleet is often referred to as"Art Gallery Town" by local residents. Many opening events and evening gallery receptions are scheduled in Wellfleet throughout the year. One can easily spend several days meandering through the many galleries that pepper the main street and alleyways that surround the downtown district.
Truro Highland Golf Links
Golf enthusiasts planning to visit the Cape Cod area should consider a trip to Truro, where the Highland Golf Links offers visitors an enjoyable nine-hole, par-5 course that is located directly on the Atlantic Ocean. It is a traditional Scottish style course surrounded by beautiful scenery, such as the Highland House Museum and Lighthouse, both of which are terrific attractions to visit after the round of golf commences.
Commercial Street Attractions
Commercial Street in Provincetown boasts art galleries, restaurants, comedy clubs, discos, unique shops, and streets performers. There is always something happening in this section of the Cape, and visitors are rarely disappointed after a trip to this area. Additionally, the attractions in this part of the Lower Cape are year-round.
Pilgrim Monument Excursion
Conveniently located in Provincetown, the infamous Pilgrim Monument is a terrific excursion for those who like to climb and hike. The view from the top of the monument is spectacular, as is the climb itself. The price of admission includes entrance to the museum, which features outstanding Mayflower and Pilgrim exhibits, as well as exhibits that showcase Provincetown's maritime history, and other historically significant pieces.
Truro Vineyards and Surrounding Attractions
Another great choice for those searching for activities in Cape Cod is a visit to the Truro Vineyards. This attraction is open to the public for wine tours from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and wine tastings occur every 30 minutes during normal business hours. The winery is located close to many of Truro's unique shops and cafes, which allows visitors to make a day of wine tasting, shopping, and dining.
A vacation in Cape Cod can be booked online or through a local travel agent. However, because the area is popular, one should make reservations well in advance. Anyone who chooses to visit this beautiful and intriguing area will not be disappointed.

Wilen Group — Adapting To the Times
April 2007 By Erik CagleSenior Editor
"Naturally, clients were looking to send out messaging by direct mail," Darrin Wilen says. "Plus, our clients have a lot more to say. So they were finding static space and needed to break out. Being able to use big pictures and effects was a natural extension for us. Because we vertically integrate, we're able to provide one bundled price, which is a lot less than if customers go to a myriad of different agencies.
"When a customer needs a million direct mail pieces, we go from the initial creative to home delivery within days," he adds. "That includes all design, logistics, printing, imaging and mailing."
The company has come a long way since its days in Richard's basement. At heart, it still provides marketing-based solutions for the entertainment industry, including cable television. But it also boasts an impressive client roster for the publishing and retail segments. And Wilen Press, originally positioned to address the needs of Wilen Media, has blossomed into commercial printing and produces catalogs, magazines, brochures, bill inserts and, of course, direct mail.
The growth is certainly reflected in Wilen Group's vital statistics. The company has 200 employees, 130 based at the 90,000-square-foot facility in Florida, which recently garnered a new 25,000-square-foot addition. Combined sales exceed $40 million, which also includes WILopEN Products, a 2002 spinoff that provides specialty products for direct marketing and retail needs.
Now at the age of 10, Wilen Press doesn't appear to be suffering from growing pains. With the new web press, Kevin Wilen notes the firm is in the process of incorporating Kodak Versamark inside/outside ink-jet print heads; previously, personalization capability was limited to the outside of the printed piece.
"Our digital output is more data-driven imaging, with the ability to address one-to-one marketing on a high-volume basis," he adds.
What enables Wilen Group to be a true concept to destination provider is its ability to monitor mailed pieces through the use of PlanetCode, the USPS mail tracking service. Wilen's real-time information allows customers to anticipate in-home delivery, which can be invaluable for response-driven campaigns that may require additional staffing for call centers.
The tracking system, as Yogi Berra might say, really works when it's not working. A few days into a recent mailing, Kevin Wilen recalls, the printer noticed it wasn't getting any scans from the post office. After a short investigation by the USPS, it was learned that the mail had been dropped off by the freight company, but had sat in a corner, untouched, at the post office. The USPS quickly moved the load through the mail stream and still made the in-home date.
Software Differentiator
The W3 software has been a real differentiator for Wilen Group, providing key statistical analysis for all who need to know within a given customer's heirarchy. From projected in-home date, response rates and all other tale-of-the-tape information germane to a mailing campaign—or many campaigns—the real-time software "allows us to be more of a partner with customers," Darrin Wilen explains.
He says the addition of mailing and database management came naturally. "With telemarketing, the Internet and spam filters, the clients had a natural progression to start direct marketing. But they wanted to get more bang for their buck, so the data management side was a natural extension.
"Our customers could find out which of their customers had a higher or lower propensity to buy. Once identified, we were able to focus our customers' spending and marketing tactics on only those clients, and they were able to get much higher ROI with their print and marketing projects.
"The more we would do, the more success the customers have, the deeper we would go into (data). We helped navigate many of our client customers into data modeling and segmenting by leveraging more than simple demographic data. We hit them with convergence of demo and psychographic data that really helped get an extra lift in ROI."
Managing growth in a chaotic environment will be the key to Wilen Group's future. For a company that evolved when change threatened its very existence, that shouldn't be a problem. PI

In mid-January, Oracle released Java 7 Version 11, which I discussed in the Jan. 17 Patch Watch (paid section). Reportedly, less than a day after Version 11's release, hacker sites were offering a new exploit for the update. Oracle had scheduled the next Java update for Feb. 19 but surprised us all by releasing Version 13 on Feb. 1. As noted in the Oracle Software Security Assurance Blog, the company accelerated the release because there are active, in-the-wild attacks.
Java 7 Version 13 (no word on what happened to Version 12) is no small fix. The Oracle blog post states that the update is critical and patches 50 security vulnerabilities, 44 of which are for browser versions of Java.
As Woody noted in his Jan. 24 Top Story, "Security alert: Remove Java from your browsers" — and I repeated in the companion story, "Java: More than the usual cup of coding coffee" — the best policy is to uninstall or disable Java if you don't truly need it.
Those stories prompted a few reader emails asking about problems with the Java Control Panel, updated in Version 11. As I discussed in the Jan. 17 Patch Watch, the control-panel update can fail if you have older versions of Java still installed. Go into Windows' application-removal tool and look for all Java entries. (You likely won't find them by looking in the Java Control Panel.) Uninstall any that were installed prior to Version 11.
What to do: If you need Java, upgrade to Version 13 by using the Update Now button in the Java Control Panel; or use the download button on the Java website. And keep an eye out for that obnoxious offer for the Ask Toolbar.Get our unique weekly Newsletter with tips and techniques, how to's and critical updates on Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows XP, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google, etc. Join our 480,000 subscribers!

It is the same situation with the mind - a scientific approach to the mind will make it clear. The closer you come to the master in deep love, in an incredible pull, your biological mind - which is thousands of years old - immediately creates an anti-pull as a protection, as a defense: you are moving towards a danger. Because of the danger of your personality's death, the mind immediately pulls back.
You always keep a little distance from people you love. You can come very close to the person you don't love. There is no fear, because there is no question of merging or melting. You can come close to your enemy without any problem, because you are not going to melt into the enemy. You can rub shoulders with the enemy without any fear. But with the friend, mind always keeps a little distance. Coming too close is risky. You may not be able to get back again into your old personality. And in fact, the risk is real.
So when you ask me, "With this incredible pull, can one really go astray?" - just because of this incredible pull, one may go astray. Just to avoid it, one may take a different route. So if somebody is clear about it, the missing can be avoided.
As far as I know, neither did Jesus ever say to his disciples that it is possible to miss, nor did Mahavira, nor did Gautam Buddha. They all took it for granted that those who have come to them, have come to them. But I see deeper into the nature of man, and even their disciples prove what I am proposing.
Jesus had never thought even in his dreams that Judas would sell him for thirty silver pieces - almost impossible. He loved the man so much. And Judas loved him so much. That's why after twenty-four hours Judas felt so repentant that the only way he saw to get out of this guilt was to commit suicide. To go on living with this guilt was more difficult than committing suicide. He also could not believe it. He loved Jesus so much.how could he have done such a thing?
But the whole psychology of man has not been explored. Because it has not been fully explored there are corners, dark corners, which you go on forgetting. You simply remain attentive to the lighted spots of love and trust, and you forget completely that there are corners and nooks in your being where there is no light, no love, no trust. They are also part of you. And in a strange way, they are more powerful than your love and your trust.
On what grounds can I say that? I say it on a very fundamental ground - because your love is spent, your trust is spent, but your dark spots are unspent. Their whole energy is gathering. They are the antibodies against your love, against your trust. They are your doubts, they are your distrust, they are your hate, and they are accumulating.
You go on sharing your love, you go on sharing your trust. What about your hate, what about your distrust, what about your doubt? These go on accumulating. Naturally, these phenomena are the phenomena of darkness. So they hide in dark corners in your being, just waiting for the chance when they can take revenge with full vengeance.

This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). Despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing, the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size is extremely large, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.

like duboman said, your PRE-BOIL volume may not be enough if your trying to account for boil-off. I do 6 gallon batches and my pre-boil volume is around 8.12 gallons (because of evaporation, etc.) I usually boil 90 minutes so thats around a ~15% boil-off rate. That will increase your sparge water amount that you will need. I want 6 gallons POST boil and then rack 5.5 gallons to the fermenter so I leave some of the trub behind.
Last comment I will make is that I can usually get 1g out of the mash tun by letting the mash sit, at a downward angle for a while after sparging. By the time I get the BK rolling with a hard boil, i can draw another gallon or so out of the mash.

There are only 5 days left until the wedding.
That means I have 4 days left to finish everything up. My last day at work was this past Thursday. I am SO glad I took off before, because there is no way I'd be able to get everything done, if not. My mom and dad are going to buy the favors for us. That took a load off! We are getting bottles of Round Barn Root Beer for everyone. For those who don't know, we are getting married at the Round Barn, so I thought that would be a neat way to tie everything together. I got a few final milk glass pieces this weekend. These little hobnail cream and sugar containers were only $5 for the 2 of them. I figured they could hold the splenda packets for the tea, during the reception. :-) Aren't they cute? I also bought a pretty cake cutter from an antique store, for $8. Anyone have any tips on cleaning it? I've never had any "real" silver before. This might be a dumb question, but do I just use silver polish? And then, is it safe to use, or does it need washed after it's polished? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Those are cute ideas and items! Are you all nerves or just joyous? I have that same cake cutter. I have a pasta spoon, big spoon, and a rectangluar one. After the wedding, i put them in the dishwasher again and again. Found out, it was plated. I would not dip the cutter in anything. I would use a polish that is liquid and a soft cloth. You can rinse the residue off under water, but I wouldn't put it in anything else, i.e. the dishwasher or soak it. I could just hug you I'm so excited! |
- Posted by kris_zone6 (My Page) on Mon, Oct 11, 10 at 11:57
Just clean it with silver polish, rinse it off and dry. It will sparkle. |
- Posted by sylviatexas z8a Tx (My Page) on Mon, Oct 11, 10 at 17:36
Yep, rinse it in cold water (I just know this). |
- Posted by sara_the_brit_z6_ct (My Page) on Mon, Oct 11, 10 at 18:21
Oh yes. Definitely rinse . . . (don't ask me how I know this. Eeurgh!) I was just thinking "I should check in at the Party, and see how Tisha's holding up"! |
- Posted by sylviatexas z8a Tx (My Page) on Sat, Oct 16, 10 at 16:59
Does anyone remember if it's a morning/afternoon/evening wedding, etc? wonder what's going on right at this very moment? bridesmaids getting dressed? guests filing in & murmuring? Miss Tisha stepping sedately down the aisle all beautiful & stuff? candles/vows/first smoochy kiss as a married couple? Miss Tisha & beau (now husband) headed back up the aisle wreathed in smiles? toasts? champagne? cake? Happy Wedding Day Dear Tisha! |

Congrats on your wedding day. I'm looking forward to reading All about it And I'm looking forward to photos. Have a nice and special evening |
Well they are now officially a couple. I'm going to kind of miss hearing about some of the wedding details. Congratulations to you both and thanks for sharing your wedding plans with us. |
Congratulations, Tisha and Keith! Hope all went smoothly and that you had a beautiful day. May you have many, many years of being together. |
- Posted by sara_the_brit_z6_ct (My Page) on Sun, Oct 17, 10 at 18:01
Congratulations Mr & Mrs!! Best wishes for what I hope was a wonderful day, marking the start of your marriage, and for all future happiness together. Yes, we want photos and reports!!!!! (Just know the GPartiers were all thinking of you) |
I'm sending my very best wishes for you both! |

Complex Sh it, a humongous, inflatable dog turd, by artist Paul McCarthy has been causing quite a scene. The quirky art piece is part of the "East of Eden: A Garden Show" exhibition and escaped last week from the Zentrum Paul Klee museum. It caused destruction during its flight that included bringing down a power line and breaking a window.
The piece is currently parked next to a children's home. It is reported to be about the size of a house.
The exhibition runs through October 26. However, Juri Steiner, the director of the Klee center, is not sure if the shit will be back on display at the exhibit.
